ORIENTAL — Mix a pinch of rock, a handful of honky tonk and a splash of bluegrass, and you’ve got The Gravy Boys. The Gravy Boys present a free concert sponsored by the Pamlico Musical Society June 22 at Lou Mac Park in Oriental.

The 7 p.m. concert is open to the public. Those attending are welcome to bring a blanket or chairs for an evening of entertainment on the shores of the Neuse River.

In the event of rain, The Gravy Boys will perform at the Old Theater. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hailing from the Raleigh/Durham area, The Gravy Boys include Steve Storms on guitar, dobro and vocals; Steve Celestini, vocals and harmonica; Bill Spagnardi, mandolin, vocals and percussion; Joe Spagnardi, guitar and vocals; and Tom Spagnardi on Doghouse bass and vocals.

Together, they serve up a hearty stew of Americana music at its best and put on a show that one Raleigh Music Industry Association critic describes as “laid-back to fierce, a dynamic set to keep any crowd on its toes.”
